Defeintly one of my favorite experiences.
From the moment you get on the bus driver turned us into a tribe and I was voted our Chief. Pretending to be in a Waka whenever we go up a hill.
On arrival you welcomed in by the warriors with the chiefs having to stand up front.
We then recieved some eduactional, interactive learning sessions around the village: how to perform the haka, poi dance and warrior training.
We ended the evening with a cultural performance of singing and dancing and then got to eat the delicious traditional Hangi.
New Zealand's highest-rate tourism attraction.

We are completely blown away by the endless messages about people's transformational experiences at Resolution Av Offices. 🙌✨ This was a gathering like no other. A family-focused celebration of life in all its forms. We were determined to start 2019 inspired, connected and driven to step whole-heartedly into ourselves. 2019 was welcomed in with conscious vibrancy and without a hang over.
The deepest gratitude from the bottom of our hearts to every single person who trusted in our vision for a connected and conscious New Years Eve Festival. You all co-created a space where our children could roam free, where your friends could safely express themselves and where we were all granted permission to feel, to be and to enjoy this life.
We do this all again on March 1-3rd at NZ Spirit Festival 2019 feat. Xavier Rudd. This is a 2 day and 3 night family-friendly camping event sprawled across rolling hills, native bush and endless sunsets only 30 mins out of Auckland. Expect more transformational workshops, delicious plant-based cuisine, incredible international and local musicians, interactive Kids Zone, art installations, impromptu campsite drumming sessions and a conscious market place.
WE HAVE 52 TICKETS LEFT AT THE EARLY SPIRIT BIRD PRICE. Numbers are strictly limited and this event will sell out.
